Today I’ll show you a smalldistressed furniture form - a jewellery chest of drawers.

PATINATINGor in other word AGEING WITH PATINAis one of the operations
of distressing furniture with the use of ‘sharp’ tools, paints and patina.

I’ve decided to choose the colour
which opposes the one used to decorate previous piece of furniture, made during
the course'5 steps of furniture styling’. Here you
can see the report and the final effect of some works. We use only small items
during such classes because most of operations are time-consuming and
requiresanding, brushing or wax finishing.

The item is made from soft wood,
probably from pinewood.

It is great to experiment with
colours from time to time in order to get your dream masterpiece suiting to
your own interior.

While decorating with acrylic
paints, the items frequently soak up water, thus changing their volume a little
bit. Hence, I have felt the resistance while pulling drawers out. In such a
case, you should polish the edges.

An extraordinary final effect was
achieved thanks to the exchange of the round handles of drawers for the
handmade twisted roses.

I’ve got a shabby chic piece
which is greatly distressed.

Furniture styling has absorbed me
so much. I’ll show you soon a white washed stool, made with white washing technique.
